This is an example markdown document for our toy repository. Normally this part of the document would contain an abstract, summary or introduction to the material covered in the document. You may find this cheat sheet helpful for recreating this document.

This is a new paragraph with some text in italics and some text bolded. Here is a table with some of the basic data types in R.

Type Description
numeric() real numbers
integer() integer numbers
factor() categorical data
character() text data
data.frame() a data set

Notice that the R code in the table above (e.g. numeric()) is formatted differently than the plain text in the description column. We could have done this as a list instead.

  • numeric(): real numbers
  • integer(): integer numbers
  • factor(): categorical data
    • I don't usually like factors, but they do have their place. You'll almost always find character variables easier to work with.
  • chatacter(): text data
  • data.frame(): a data set
    • Or you could use data_frame(). I like them better for reasons we will discuss later in the course.

Subsection

Here we have a subsection containing a block quote from [@BroadhurstDavid](https://twitter.com/BroadhurstDavid):

Really Dr. McCoy You must learn to govern your passions; they will be your undoing. Logistic Regression suggests...

You can also include a block of R code. Remember this code from last week?

while(TRUE)
{
    Sys.time()
    Sys.sleep(10)
}
